Today, Jan is joined by Abigail Alvarado who is here to tell her harrowing story. Starting at age 9, Abigail and her siblings were removed from the crack house they called home by Child Protective Services (CPS). After a short stay in a shelter, their uncle took them in and shortly thereafter adopted them. Not long after is when the progressive nightmare began. Starting with the same old story of grooming into molestation into sexual abuse while the mother figure doesn't believe her claims, but then after nearly 7 years of constant abuse and brainwashing is where the story takes a hard turn: forced surrogacy. Having 3 children over the next 6-7 years, Abigail watched in horror as her children are raised to believe she is their older sister and giving their love to a pair of sadistic rapists who now have her trapped, or her children will be their next victims. Enter Rudy, a year of secretive on again off again connections, and finally the dam bursts, she tells him her story, and he believes her. Beyond that, he believes in her and offers his assistance if she can manage to escape with her children, which she does. 24 and free she begins a new life with the man she has grown to love and trust. Happily ever after does exist it turns out.
